Particular attention is paid in this respect to the ways in which global interdependencies that do not appear immediately related to health – the ties of global trade, of global finance, and of global governance – nevertheless play a role in explaining unequal experiences of sickness and health. We examine the social, political and economic determinants of health disparities. Disparities in both acute and chronic disease patterns over time are also addressed, exploring the associated role of global social, political, and economic changes. We describe the global burden of disease and mortality in multiple dimensions – by geography, social class, race, and gender – and examine patterns of health and welfare disparity among all of these dimensions.
